Chapter 225

Running away?

No! No! No!

That was just the habitual tactic of Inaba the Rabbit Ninja: after luring the opponent into the Bio Bamboo Forest's rabbit trap, she would use the heavy ceiling, like the golden tiles on the top floor of the Marunouchi Super High Building, to crush the enemy with a single strike—the ruthless killing method of Golden Pavilion Karate!

"Eeya—!"

Before she could escape to the trap's location, a pair of large hands reached out from behind, grabbed the two ears on her head, and lifted her up.

Tewi Inaba, whose frontal combat power was nearly zero, had her ears pulled and gave up struggling in dejection.

She had curly black hair cut to the neck, and a pair of pink rabbit ears four or five inches long on her head, which drooped down. She wore a light pink short-sleeved dress with ruffles at the hem and collar, and a pair of almond eyes as red as blood.

On the surface, she was a ten-year-old loli who looked very cute, making one want to protect her, or... bully her.

But in reality, external age was the least reliable thing in this world. Clearly, this was also a loli bba whose age was counted in the thousands.

"The White Rabbit of Inaba..." Yukari Yakumo looked at the rabbit-eared girl with malicious eyes. From the name Jia Ji revealed, she could immediately know who was in front of her.

"I didn't expect an unexpected harvest. The legendary lucky white rabbit, is it? It seems like cutting off the rabbit's feet could bring good luck." The Youkai Sage said terrifying words with a calm face, causing Tewi Inaba, who had already given up on herself, to struggle again.

"The White Rabbit of Inaba is a lucky rabbit, an auspicious beast"—this matter was also recorded in the "Kojiki".

"Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, I'm really going to lose my life this time!"

Although she was a weak rabbit youkai, Tewi Inaba had an extraordinary background and a long lifespan. She had seen countless humans, youkai, and gods in her life, so she naturally had a keen eye.

So she could tell that the blonde female youkai was very dangerous, the green-haired youkai next to her was even more dangerous, and the hedgehog-head holding her ears was even more dangerous than both of them.

Because she had the ability to bring good luck, Tewi Inaba generally wouldn't encounter danger, but unfortunately, Jia Ji was not from this world, so no matter how lucky she was, she couldn't avoid being hit by a truck from another world.

So, now was a rare moment to directly wave a hand and instantly refine this rabbit into rabbit meat soup and lucky trinkets.

"Relax, we are here to find Eirin Yagokoro, it has nothing to do with you... well, maybe we need you to lead the way."

Saying this, Jia Ji threw this unlucky person to Yuuka, who had nothing in her hands. As far as he knew, flower youkai generally wouldn't hurt children... wouldn't they? Probably?

Eirin Yagokoro?

Hearing what Jia Ji said, Tewi Inaba immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then her eyes lit up, and a look of curiosity flashed across them.

That old woman would also have acquaintances coming to her door?

Her drooping rabbit ears seemed to have gained vitality, standing up slightly, and a strange smile appeared on her face, as if she were expecting something. She led the group into the bamboo sea with great interest.

While following the direction Tewi Inaba pointed, Jia Ji quietly opened the group channel with Yukari Yakumo.

【Great Mengshen: Hey, why were you the one who joined the group back then? @Forever Seventeen】

【Forever Seventeen:? What do you mean by that?】

【Great Mengshen: Actually, according to common sense, the probability of Kaguya-hime joining the group is also not low. If it wasn't you, it would probably be her.】

【Great Mengshen: In that case, we could directly freeload hundreds of rabbits and a concept-level physician from Eientei. Not only would we not have to help you fight to the death everywhere, but we would also have an unlimited supply of various spiritual medicines. It's exaggerated, oh...】

【Forever Seventeen: There is no such common sense!】

【Lanyuan Yanzhu: There is no such common sense! I think Sister Yukari joining the group is definitely better than that woman called Kaguya-hime! Brother Jia Ji, you are being too much!】

【Angel After Death: Agreed】

【Yinyang Yan Jianzi: Agreed!】

Under the verbal abuse of the group members, Jia Ji could only raise his hands in surrender.

Yukari Yakumo's image was successfully shaped. Even though no one in the group had ever seen Kaguya-hime, they still branded her as an unknown wild woman, and those who had heard of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter were no exception.

Presumably, they would have a lot in common with a certain Hourai person who could control flames.

However, if Kaguya-hime had really joined the group, Jia Ji probably wouldn't have his current strength, and the group members at this time would be more likely to shift to a true youthful daily style.

In that case, daily communication would probably become "Log in, let's play games together!", rather than the current strength-filled conversations like "I'm in trouble, come help me", "There's a strong enemy, come quickly", "Leave one for me".

After walking in the bamboo sea for a while, the density of the bamboo trees began to thin out, and a small path vaguely appeared on the ground, leading into the white mist in the depths. The faint moonlight shone on the mist, like a beautiful curtain.

Not long after walking, the thick white mist retreated like a living creature, or like a tide, and the environment gradually became clear, with the outlines of buildings emerging.

It was a group of buildings made of bamboo and wood, carrying luxury in simplicity and hiding nobility in the ordinary.

If not a blessed land for immortals, it was also a good place for seclusion. This was Eientei, which froze eternity in an instant and remained unchanged forever.

Jia Ji found Eientei Pavilion, and with the help of the Moon Brain Ninja, restored the memories of Yuyuko Saigyouji. Oh, oh... what a gentle world, even Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile...

—Creak, Jia Ji, who had reached the front at some unknown time, pushed open the wooden door in front of him.

"Domo, Moon Brain Ninja-san, Hokuto Ninja Desu."

He introduced himself to the inside with full breath, although no one present except Yukari Yakumo could understand it.

However, faced with the arrival of uninvited guests, the homeowner's answer was only one—

"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish—!!"

Arrows with terrifying cold light flashing on their tips tore through space at several times the speed of sound, silently attacking the intruders.

That scalp-numbing silver light was like a meteor shower that had firmly locked onto the opponents' hearts. It was extremely cruel, numerous, and added with tyrannical power.

Because he was at the very front, Jia Ji suffered the most arrow attacks, but it didn't matter; he had always had countermeasures for this kind of long-range attack...

"Two-Finger Vacuum Grasp!"

Simultaneously manifesting dozens of hands, like a miraculous skill, every arrow shot at him actively threw itself between his two fingers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the meticulous control of power, all the arrows "grasped" were fired back by Jia Ji's hands with the same force.

Two barrages of arrows directly began a precise point-to-point bombardment in front of the gate of Eientei!
